Just wondering how much more we will take??? The FAU was willing to strike after being told a change in their bid system was forthcoming and the company backed down. In the last two years this is what has happended to us;
Direct entry captains...(we should have said no to this but the AOA signed off on this)
COS 08... only for new hires but we now know the real story.
Forced SLS...(AOA signed off on this too)
Continual violations of our COS... ex, if you are not on COS 08 you cannot prefer port. If you change your PX, which they often use to reduce EFP, you lose your credit. Crew being abandoned in stations with no hotel told not entitled but falling asleep in lobbies in uniform. We can no longer wear it off duty now.
Bypass pay... Lies by the company
Now we are going to watch more of our jobs sent to other carriers, Air China for one. Recently, heard that a question was asked of another managment liar about additional aircraft to Air China. What happens after the 4 BCF's. Answer, as the -8's arrive more B747's will go to Air China. Air China is advertising all over the internet for crews. THESE ARE OUR JOBS!
How much more will we take until we say enough is enough. Threatening to take them to court and the recent media blitz isn't enough. It's time to get the same set of balls our F/A's have as well as the BA F/A's.
